On My 2001 signature if you are plugged into city water and turn the valve to fill your tank and don't remember to close the vale back. your pump will run continually when turned on because the fill value being still open creates an open circuit for the water to run back to the tank. close the valve and the pump will build press ure and shut off.

On my 2001 Monaco we found that the exhaust piping needed replacing all the way back to the turbo, a big hole had blown thru the pipe next to the block.

We to were having trans problems a few years back. it turned out to be simple a weather protected 30 amp fuse from the positive battery post that went directly to the trans was bad. It would go into limp mode and then wouldn't move then later it would run. The fuse block would get hot and short out then cool down and work again. It was an old diesel mechanic that went straight to it as his 1st point of interest. He said the Alleson transmissions were tough and rarely broke down in rvs due to the low mileages. I would have never though the trans would have a direct link to the battery verses from a fuse block.

Have you tried to get a camp site anywhere in the last 2 years? 6 months out and the parks are booked. For the new RVer it also takes the fun out of using their new RV because the parks are full. People are booking a year out to reserve sites and then "no show" especially in the State and Federal parks because the nightly costs are so cheap, so the premium camp site sets empty all weekend. As a veteran RVer planning a trip and booking sites was never a problem now you show up and someone with a pop up is on the site for the Big Rigs. I know I know we've had it to ourselves for so many years. But it does add hours to building and booking a trip, so we have found it easier at times to rent VRBO's and go.

I've used the beads over the year i could never tell that they worked that good. DON'T use beads. If the tire dealer has not invested in a "Road Force Balancer" keep looking until you find this machine in a tire shop. This tec came out a few years ago for car and truck tires and now they have a machine for RV and Big Truck tires. I balance steers, drives and tag axle tires we just pulled in from a 700 mile trip and it was like riding on a magic carpet. " Road Force Balancing

I most always have a Tahoe as a toad behind me. We had just finished with major repairs in the engine compartment one of the regulators we updated was for the tag axle. We thought we had set the pressure at 35 psi. With the generator, fuel tank and propane tank all riding on the front axle she felt really heavy that day. We blew the front drives steer tire off the rim at 70 mph, they were new tires with less than 5,000 miles. the only thing we could determine for the failure was my tag axle pressure changed to over 65 psi overloading the front axle. The tag axle is there to help stabilize your ride and carry some of the weight of the engine and to help when you may have a heavy trailer tonge weight. If you don't have accuses to a scale, you can pull measurements on level ground from the frame to the ground to check if your ride height is level. If the tail of your coach is too high, it will cause your toad to ride nose high wearing out the suspension and tires. I saw another comment about running different air pressures in your tires for a better ride or softer ride. I run 110 psi year-round the air ride system will manage your comfort and stability of the coach. if you run loaded tires to low on-air pressure, they will build heat and fail. In the old days we would adjust air pressures because of the steel coil suspension like in our old Gas Class A's that had the P-30 cassis. Buy the way it was the Monaco air ride suspension that keep the coach upright after losing the steer tire that day it automatically tries to balance the coach while in turns to prevent the coach from swaying and leaning into turns. We just held her straight down the road until she slowed down enough to pull off the road.

Hey Ivan, the bottom chicken Cratch is "that run Relay" I can't tell you what the top word is it could be shop talk for when you don't know what something is called. I did walk out this morning to look and found another cheat sheet where I removed and disconnected the electronic relay at the bottom of the radiator support that get its info from the intake manifold sensor in the bottom right it shows how I revamped the hydraulic hoses. there is a better break down of relay 87-A and how it works too. it has been 4 years since this repair it took 4 months but has worked flawlessly. it's not a one-man job either.

Hey Flyinhi, you may have found the answer to your question by now. I have a 2001 Monaco Signature with a 500hp Cummins. In 2019 I thought I had lost a turbo all of my boost was gone. The air charge coolers tanks were a bolted-on system / not welded on and the bolts had rusted off and the boost from the turbo blowed the tanks off. I had to remove the whole cooling system cartridge to replace the air charge cooler. In doing so I replaced and rebuilt the radiator, air charge cooler and trans and hydraulic coolers before putting them back together and reinstalling them. when we got to hooking the radiator back up "Jim at source manufacturing 541-935-0308" were I purchased newly rebuilt units was a great help. There was a redundant system built into the intake manifold that would also turn the fans to high if you started building high heat in the manifolds. The 2 things I remember was we disconnected this feature and relied on the thermovalue on the radiator to regulate the fans speed. he sent me a peacock value that worked as a bypass that restricted the hydraulic to the fans so that they ran all the time at a slower RPM for pulling air for the A/C condenser. when the wax value opened it would speed the fans up to full. Radiator specialty 916-381-4790 was the manufacture of the all the tanks but you had to buy them thru a rep which was Jim. It helps to know who to call. I will download a pic of my cheats we hand drew out.

I just made an upgrade on my 2001 Monaco Sig to the new Holley retro fit LED headlights that are designed for classic cars and trucks that fit and worked perfect on my coach. check out the you tube videos on the before and after.
